This little damp pīwakawaka is my favourite drawing of the year, I love these little birds! You may recognize this post from a couple of months ago, but I felt like I didn't do it justice - don't Instagram while sleepy 😅 Pīwakawaka belong to a family of birds called monarch fly catchers, and there are three subspecies of these tiny critters right here in New Zealand. It is one of our most distinctive birds; and they can live in such a wide range of habitats that they are common all over the country! They can breed many times in a season, though the adults, fledglings and eggs are highly vulnerable to predation by introduced mammals such as rats and stoats. There is even a recorded sighting of a stoat jumping and catching a quick and agile fantail while it was in flight! As a result, very few of the eggs pīwakawaka lay make it to hatching, and adulthood. Despite all the challenges we have thrown at them, pīwakawaka never fail to make us smile with their chirpy song, aerial skills and grumpy looking eyebrows. We can help pīwakawaka trapping rats, keeping our cats inside at night and planting native trees throughout our gardens 🌱 this little A5 drawing took me around 20 hours to finish, but every dot was worth it.
